Made by BRYANT & MAY, BELL & CO., LTD. - Newtewn, WELLINGTON Have you been As a warning to our customers, we publish herewith the following extract . from the American . Inland Stationer for October, 1912, as some day fakers of the type mentioned in the article may exploit Australasia. "Frauds in Fountain Pens! . Fountain pen fakers usually open a small store, and placard the window with flaring placards telling all • about the "manufacturers' samples" of gold fountain pens they are selling at 7/6 or thereabouts. These fountain pens, the card say, are really worth from 12/6 to £2, but on account of a special purchase, etc., are ' being sold at the low price of 7/6. ) • A display of gaudily decorated pens in plush boxes is usually shown in connection with the placard. Of ' . course, the pens are nob manufacturers' samples, nor > are they high-grade pens sold at bargain prices. In fact, no manufacturer's name appears on them for obvious • < reasons. They are a thinly-washed imitation .of the ' real article, and, of course, they are soon out of service. The faker, after a prosperous business for a month or two, vanishes, and when the buyer of such a pen wants it repaired, he is surprised to learn that it -will cost him more than it would- to have purchased, a really worth-while article in the first place. The faker does not repair his goods. 1 • These fakers do distinct harm to the fountain pen industry, as many buyers after trying a " fountain " pen of that type*, never try another. They never really learn the merit of a good fountain pen. There is no objection to the sale of cheap fountain pens when the buyer is told Just what he is buying— that: is fair. But when he is misled into believing he is . buying a" high priced fountain pen for about 7/6, it is fraud pure and simple. And every effort should be made to squelch vendors of this type." Don't be misled ! Buy a pen that sells on its name— the " Swan " or the " Onoto " !
